It does use the HDD for this, and also periodically for various other housekeeping purposes. Also the hard drives may spin themselves up periodically for their own reasons.
You may find it's better to leave the box on (also make sure power-saving is disabled) so the HDD spins all the time instead of it stopping and starting.
